It is always sunny in Singapore. We do not have the seasonal changes of Winter to Spring, so styles in clothes or fashion does not differ too much in-between seasons.
However, we do not have to be boring with the home decor during this “spring” time.
So… I am hoping that one of you will be buying into these “BLOOMS!”

Feeling down in the dumps? Sometimes we don’t have the time to spend a day at the spa or invite friends and family over to de-stress and cheer us up, so we’ve compiled a list of quick tricks to give you a no-prescription-required burst of bliss in a jiffy. Here are 10 instant ways to boost your mood:
Who doesn’t love a good soak in the bath? A study by Yale University revealed that relaxing amongst the bubbles does more than simply relax and refresh our bodies. In fact, a warm bath or shower can act as an effective substitute for social interaction when we’re feeling lonely. The researchers from Yale University questioned 51 students about their everyday routines and their emotions, which revealed that those who regularly soaked in a warm bath and had hot drinks felt happier than those who had quick showers and very few hot drinks. If you need a quick pick-me-up, have a soak in the bath. If you need an even quicker pick-me-up, simply make yourself a warm drink for an instantly better mood.
Sometimes when we’re feeling down, a good serving of mood-boosting nutrients is all we need. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh carried out a study in which they took blood tests from 106 healthy adults and measured their happiness. The study revealed that those with higher levels of omega 3 in their blood were 49 to 58 per cent happier than those with lower omega 3 levels. Chocolate is an excellent mood booster too. The high levels of serotonin, alongside many other ‘happy chemicals’, promote feelings of contentment. “A square of chocolate a day keeps the sadness away” – that’s our new motto.
A great way to instantly boost your mood when you have little time is to keep an essential oil close-by. When you’re feeling down essential oils can make you feel more positive, calmer and less anxious. Researchers in Austria tested volunteers’ moods before and after they inhaled calming scents such as lavender and oranges and noticed a significant rise in their moods after inhaling the oils. The participants reported that they felt less anxious and more upbeat compared to before. If you’re having a deadline-packed day at work, or you’re feeling a little jittery about something else, simply putting a few drops of essential oil on a tissue or use a reed diffuser to disperse your favourite scent through the room and make you feel a whole lot better instantly.
It may be the last thing you feel like doing when you’re down, and smiling when you feel like screaming can feel unnatural, but just try it. Experts suggest that how we act physically can affect how we feel emotionally. Psychologists at the University of Cardiff recently discovered that those who have an inability to frown because of botox injections feel much happier than those whose muscles allow them to frown. It appears that our emotions aren’t restricted to our brain, as acting happy will make our brain feel happy too. As well as this, smiling means that people will subsequently want to talk to you more, leading to you making more friends and being a generally happier person. Go on, crack a smile and see how it makes you feel. Alternatively, go the whole hog and go in for some laughter therapy.
The internet is packed with funny video footage of everything from dancing cats to bad audition tapes and even dogs on skateboards. When you’re feeling stressed and down, taking five minutes out to watch a funny video will help you to relax, take your day less seriously, and release some natural feel-good chemicals at the same time. Indeed, laughter releases endorphins that relieve anxiety and make you feel upbeat. Experts suggest that laughter also leaves your muscles relaxed for up to 40 minutes afterwards too, so it really is a great way to perk up your day. A good dose of the giggles is infectious and makes you even happier when you’re with others, so get some friends or colleagues together and watch a funny clip.
Of course, all this can be done on our sofa. In case you need a more comfortable sofa or is thinking of upholstery to renew the mood in your home. You can contact us at centrepiece furnishing. Text Vince for an appt @ 90305057. info(AT)centrepiece.com.sg

Usually an expensive sofa is in use from 5 to 8 years under normal use and treatment for it. (But of course if 2,000 people sat on the couch for a year, even if it is expensive, sofa quickly loses its previous form). On average, for a family of 5 people this sofa will serve about 5 years. Then sofa’s quality will be deteriorating, although it is still possible to sit and lie on it for about eight years (if you are Lucky). But experience shows that people do not like disharmony at their home especially if you can buy something beautiful and new. Thus they go back to the store for a new sofa : )
Inexpensive sofas serve from 1 to 4 years, not more, as this type of sofas is not designed for long use. Usually, the inexpensive quality sofas are designed for occasional use, such as in a home office room or in the country house. Of course, lonely people buying a sofa do not use it in a way that it can be frayed during a year.

Occasionally, we tend to lose sleep over things that has happened in our life. Perhaps, something that just didn’t quite go the way we want. Is it worth losing our sleep over this? Nevertheless, I can’t emphasise enough the importance of sleep to you and me. So, a good bed is important to us to achieve that, and a good bed frame to support us is equally important.
Having a good solid bed frame is essential to help us feel supported and grounded.
And of course, you are unique. So we can put in ideas to create bed frame that suits our taste and décor as well. Be creative, choose the design and colour as you wish.
Be bold!
Or be as designer as you LOVE! Basically, you decide what you like and we will help you achieve the custom made bed frame that you want to support you in a good night of sleep!

Just as we advance in the complexity and convenience that modern technology can bring to us. We also cannot deny that, greater than ever, we seems to be looking back into the natural way of life as much.
Naturally, it seems that the Japanese has an uncanning ability to merge modernity and nature. Don’t you think so?
Just look at how the traditional Japanese woodworkers saw design as the process of releasing wood’s richness and natural beauty. Rather than self indulgent pursuit of personal tastes, these craftsmen had an aesthetic vision inseparably tied to the natural characteristics of the wood itself.
This philosophy is evident with some of our collections of sofa with its graceful curves and a form that allows for plenty of visible end grain.
Sometimes, simplicity can bring you greater advancement in our spiritual needs?
Shall we talk about this and see how we can help you fit the kind of lifestyle into your living space. Contact Vince 90205057 to custom make a sofa or perhaps upholstery for a new look. http://www.centrepiece.com.sg

So I reckon these sofa may work better for me?
But then, we have to ensure that the rubber stoppers at the bottom of the legs of the sofa are of good quality. Otherwise, moving the sofa around so much may cost it to fall off.
